Bionic Eyes Lyrics

I love my bionic eyes
I love my crystal vision
If there's anybody out there
Baby I'm not gonna miss 'em

I watch the years go by
These are the same old guys I never had any use for
Beyond the feeling of pleasure
Or the thrill of the fight

I scored again last night
I said thanks for the drinks, nice party
Then I turned out the light

I've got timing and attitude
That can get to the baddest dude
That's when I hypnotize them
With my bionic eyes

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever

It's easy in the beginning
When I can dazzle them
All night
Make 'em do what you wan' 'em to
Get 'em running after you
It's just the same old guys
Wearing the same old ties

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever

I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes

If there's a parallel nation
And I'm a secret weapon
Show me a man you cannot break
And I will show you heaven

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever

when my IDIOT brother heard this he was like, "is she lesbian?" but i mean, fuck, you don't have to be lesbian to HATE MEN! though i'm not entirely sure she's talking about that. help me out i suck at this.

Cover art for Bionic Eyes lyrics by Liz Phair

she uses her eyes to seduce men and she "hypnotizes" them. she doesnt see these men as anything more than a one night stand or a challenge, other than that they bore her. she gets "light as a feather" (drunk?) and they get "stiff as a board".

Cover art for Bionic Eyes lyrics by Liz Phair

I think she's saying she's totally bored of these guys that she can just win over as easily as she can see through the world. Her bionic eyes are her perception, and her weapon. But she's sayin 'show me a man you can't break, i'll show you heaven'. she wants a challange. She's saying she changed, in order to get all these guys to like her, and in the end it's worthless because they are worthless.
